Do you happen to know when the picture below of U-553 was taken? as it looks like they removed the net cutters and left the brackets.
My son and I hvae the Revell 1/72 kit which he will radio controll and we are tryign to find out when the net cutters were removed from the VIIC's that had them, we think early 1941.
